It was a second place for the Norwegian giant Therese Johaug in today's World Cup race of 10 kilometers - it was the first time she did not win in five years.

After the race, the Norwegian says that she thinks it is good that more people can fight for the victory.

- Then it's more fun to win if they are fighting for first place, so I feel it is very good, she says.

"Will take up the fight"

The Norwegian also sent a pass to Diggins before the World Cup.

- Jessica is in great shape, she proved that in the Tour de ski.

But I will try to take up the fight against her in the World Cup.

Diggings, who was the Tour de Ski winner earlier this year, showed form when she won two seconds ahead of Johaug.

Swede Ebba Andersson finished third - 14.6 seconds behind the American.
